Sead Kolašinac

He made the difference compared to the home game. Was impressed with him offensively, bit rash defensively still though.

Schalke is an average team though, Ajax really did itself a disservice by starting poorly (and with the wrong man on 6 and rb).

Fantastic performance last night.

 

[Kobi]

But but his only strength is his physique.

To quote Kevin Keegan "he's using his strength and that's his strength, his strength".

 

[Arsenio Venger]

Did we actually sign this guy

[Red London]

Free or not, 140k a week for a fullback. ****s sake

At a 25M transfer fee, the amortisation alone on that contract is 120K p/w.

Footballers and agent have so much power these days if you don't give them what they want they'll reject you quick. but agree with you 140K for a player like him is alot and i don't believe it.

I feel like Pep would prefer Mendy or someone who is excellent going forward.
Im not sure how good Mendy defends but the guy has been one of the best attacking full backs this season, in terms of delivery probably the best, I'd like him here

 

[Malky]

Yeah I can see Pep going for Mendy, Gaya or Danny Rose.

City have too much money to bother themselves with free transfers. They'll go after a 50m defender, just because they can

Normally agree, but decent fullbacks are hard to find.

They rather spend 50M on that CB, CM, etc they need than a Mendy.

 

[GDeep™]

Also, they used deals running down to bring guys like Sagna and Clichy in.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

City will get Walker and maybe Alba.

With no fee that's how it normally goes. Sol Campbell earned a fortune off us because he moved on a free. 20m signing over 4 years is 5m plus say 100k pw so 10.2 m per year. Normally there is a meeting in the middle and the buying club still saves.

If you read up on Flamini it's one of the reasons his contract always ran down. More money in his pocket as signing on fee and wages.

 

[GDeep™]

If you're a free player, in demand, a big wage is standard procedure.

We're talking about a player linked with a few clubs.

Not only that, you have market forces, Everton had agreed a deal, so we had to better those wages to sway him.
